Valve Cover custom painting.

[CelicaDRIFTER]

dunno if this belongs on this specific part of this forum, but...


anyone want their valve covers painted?
i also do helmets, guitars, drums, and other small stuff.

I clean the underside of the valve cover as much as i can and i also strip the original paint and start from there.
i use automotive 2 stage paint(basecoat/ clear) or 3 stage if therse a pearl or flake goin into it.
price for 4 cyl valve covers. $110 and up depending on color/ pearl/ flake/you or me providing the valve cover, etc.
core charge also unless u have another set of valve covers to give me.
inline 6 valve covers start at $120 and up.

you can check out some of my work here www.myspace.com/rrabespl (http://www.myspace.com/rrabespl) (not doin cars at this moment.)
im in socal., LA area

Cusco blue w/ flake

[CelicaDRIFTER]

depends on if i have an SR valve cover on me thats ready to go or if i have to start from scratch and start strippin the paint on the valve cover.

but something like that probably like a couple or few days.

[Brian]

Hmmm, want to drop off that cover for me at work tomorrow???

i already had this SR valve cover lying around with the letters shaved off. i also shaved the letters on the spark plug cover.
not including stripping the paint on the valve cover and shaving the letters, the paint process took 2 days.

[s!lv!a]

wow.. that's pretty badass, do you happen to have a spare KA cover? I'd love to have the rising sun done on a KA cover, but keeping the letters.. if possible, if you have a spare ka cover, if you'd be willing to paint it, ship it to me, and i could ship you my stock one back, that'd be awesome.. pm me with any info!

[TougeLabs]

S14

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u265/TougeLabs/tougelabsbizcard.jpg

[CelicaDRIFTER]

dont have any SR valve covers on me.

$120 to do the black with flake if you provided the valve cover.

[TougeLabs]

How far are you from Vegas ? Anyway i have t do some thinking about that...You think you can paint that logo ? and put tougelabs were it says nissan ?

[CelicaDRIFTER]

on an SR?
if so would need the spark plug cover too and would be best to shave the letters off on both the spark plug cover and valve cover.

i can do it. it would be both hand painted and some of it airbrushed as far as the logo goes.
more hours goin into something like that so price would be more.
probalby about $200 if you provided the valve cover.
